What the hell is going on with Jon Jones? That’s the question on every UFC fan’s mind as they continue to wait for news about the heavyweight champion’s future.
After handily defeating Stipe Miocic, ‘Bones’ all but confirmed that he’d stick around long enough to fight the promotion’s interim heavyweight titleholder, Tom Aspinall. Seven months later, we appear to be no closer to seeing that happen happen.
In the time since, Jones has regularly dismissed the idea of fighting Aspinall, suggested that he is retired, taken offers to coach fighters on a Russian knockoff version of The Ultimate Fighter, and even lobbied hard for a clash with Alex Pereira before ‘Poatan’ lost his light heavyweight belt to Magomed Ankalaev.
